Social Value is the value that is created by an organisation or through an intervention that has a benefit to wider society, the economy and the environment; as well as the direct service user. We carry out an evaluation for three main purposes, to ensure contract compliance for funders, for marketing and to showcase the great work that is taking place and lastly, to inform the direction of travel. FoWDG are having a significant positive impact on the local people and within the local area but we need to identify it and evidence it so that it gets appreciated. ​ More here: http://www.westdenegreen.org.uk/measuring-our-social-value.html
